after or before tornado, hurricane or such happenings a name is given to it. How is the name given to it.?

There are no formal names for tornadoes. Most often, tornadoes are referred to as the date and place that they occur. Such as the Boone County tornadoes of June 13, 1976 or the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 and the Greensburg. Kansas tornado of May 4,2007.

On the other hand there is a formal naming system for Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. For the Atlantic basin (North Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico) any time a tropical cyclone attains the strength of a Tropical Storm it acquires a name. The name is taken form a 6 year rotating list of names that has been approved by the World Meteorological Organization. Each years list starts with A and goes alphabetically skipping letters Q-U-X-Y and Z that would have very few possible names. Each years list starts with alternating male and female names and each name on the list alternates between male and female. .

You can see the current list and the years they will be used at:

Well they don't give tornadoes names but they always give hurrincanes names, in which they choose it in alphabetical order.. For instance it always goes like a boy name then a girl name like Ana, Bill. then once they've finished up to the end of the alphabet or once they've finished all the names been used they then have a boys name begining with an 'A' and a girls name for 'B' and so on and so fourth. Hope i've helped.

hi these are all low pressures which occur in tropics, so they r call Tropical Revolving Storm. In short we call them TRS. But in different part of the world they are have a local name. In indian sub continent we call them Cyclones, in Australia they r called ***** *****. In America they are called hurricane or typhoon around Japan and China.

Reason to Name Hurricanes

Experience shows that the use of short, distinctive names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error than the older, more cumbersome latitude-longitude identification methods. These advantages are especially important in exchanging detailed storm information between hundreds of widely scattered stations, coastal bases, and ships at sea.

The use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusion when two or more tropical storms occur at the same time. For example, one hurricane can be moving slowly westward in the Gulf of Mexico, while at exactly the same time another hurricane can be moving rapidly northward along the Atlantic coast. In the past, confusion and false rumors have arisen when storm advisories broadcast from radio stations were mistaken for warnings concerning an entirely different storm located hundreds of miles away.

History of Hurricane Names

For several hundred years many hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the particular saint's day on which the hurricane occurred. Ivan R. Tannehill describes in his book "Hurricanes" the major tropical storms of recorded history and mentions many hurricanes named after saints. For example, there was "Hurricane Santa Ana" which struck Puerto Rico with exceptional violence on July 26, 1825, and "San Felipe" (the first) and "San Felipe" (the second) which hit Puerto Rico on September 13 in both 1876 and 1928.

Tannehill also tells of Clement Wragge, an Australian meteorologist who began giving women's names to tropical storms before the end of the l9th century.

An early example of the use of a woman's name for a storm was in the novel "Storm" by George R. Stewart, published by Random House in 1941, and since filmed by Walt Disney. During World War II this practice became widespread in weather map discussions among forecasters, especially Air Force and Navy meteorologists who plotted the movements of storms over the wide expanses of the Pacific Ocean.

In 1953, the United States abandoned a confusing two-year old plan to name storms by a phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie) when a new, international phonetic alphabet was introduced. That year, the United States began using female names for storms.

Experience shows that the use of short, distinctive given names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error than the older more cumbersome latitude-longitude identification methods. These advantages are especially important in exchanging detailed storm information between hundreds of widely scattered stations, coastal bases, and ships at sea.

Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. They are now maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The original name lists featured only women's names. In 1979, men's names were introduced and they alternate with the women's names. Six lists are used in rotation. Thus, the 2009 list will be used again in 2015. Here is more information about the history of naming hurricanes.

The only time that there is a change in the list is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity. If that occurs, then at an annual meeting by the WMO committee (called primarily to discuss many other issues) the offending name is stricken from the list and another name is selected to replace it.

Several names have been changed since the lists were created. For example, on the 2007 list (which will be used again in 2013), Dorian has replaced Dean, Fernand has replaced Felix, and Nestor has replaced Noel. Here is more information about retired hurricane names.

In the event that more than 21 named tropical cyclones occur in the Atlantic basin in a season, additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and so on. If a storm forms in the off-season, it will take the next name in the list based on the current calendar date. For example, if a tropical cyclone formed on December 28th, it would take the name from the previous season's list of names. If a storm formed in February, it would be named from the subsequent season's list of names.

The practice of naming hurricanes solely after women came to an end in 1978 when men's and women's names were included in the Eastern North Pacific storm lists. In 1979, male and female names were included in lists for the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Only female names were assigned in the begin

alphabetical order and names that have not been previously used

well they they name it when it appears
